Woman arrested over death of Kim Jong Un's half-brother

A woman has been arrested in connection with the death of Kim Jong Un's half-brother, Malaysian police said.
She was detained Wednesday at Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 carrying a Vietnamese travel document.
Earlier, South Korea's intelligence committee said two Asian women were suspected of murdering Kim Jong Nam, who died soon after being attacked at the same airport.
Investigators are awaiting the results of                                                                                                         an autopsy on his body.
Kim is believed to have been poisoned, South Korea's National Assembly Intelligence Committee Chairman Lee Cheol Woo told a press briefing Wednesday.

Lee did not say how Kim was poisoned or how South Korea obtained the information. Kim's death has not been publicized in North Korea and is unlikely to be, given political sensitivities.
Kim was boarding a flight to the island of Macau, a Chinese territory, to visit his family when he was attacked, Lee said.
TV screens show pictures of Kim Jong Nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2017.
Kim went to the counter at KLIA asking for help, the Royal Malaysian Police said in a statement, but died on the way to hospital.
"The deceased ... felt like someone grabbed or held his face from behind," Selangor State Criminal Investigations Department Chief Fadzil Ahmat told Reuters.
South Korea's Unification Ministry said Wednesday it is working with Malaysian authorities, while the country's acting President and Prime Minister held a National Security Council meeting on Wednesday morning to discuss the death.
The North Korean embassy in Malaysia said they had no information about Kim's death when contacted by CNN, but a car with a North Korean flag on it was seen entering the hospital mortuary where Kim's body is believed to be.
Unsubstantiated reports
Numerous unsubstantiated reports of how Kim was attacked have been circulated but Malaysian police are providing few details.
The Malaysian inspector general of police said in a news release Tuesday the deceased North Korean man was traveling with a passport bearing the name Kim Chol.
Kim, who was in his mid-40s, had a reputation for traveling on fake passports -- it may have even been tied to his fall from grace in his home country.
While Kim was the most public of all Kim Jong Il's sons before his half-brother Kim Jong Un took power, it was reported he lost favor with his father after he used a forged document to try to visit Tokyo Disneyland in 2001.
His absence from his father's funeral in 2011 fueled earlier rumors that he had been banished from North Korea.
